"The article deals with the concept of non-place of memory (NPM). Author defines NPM broadly as entity which once created by people lost its perceptive properties as man-made, but at the same time kept it material basis. In the narrower sense of the definition NPM are places of murder and bodies deposition sites which are either unrecognized as such or haven't been yet changed into places of memory. Analysis are based mostly on cases of Roma massacres in Poland which took place during II World War, and compared with history of burials and concept of cemetery. Transitions of NMP is then explained by using the Mary Douglas' concept of anomaly.

In this paper we intend to show that in Memory, History, Forgetting Paul Ricoeur articulates memory and history through imagination. This philosopher distinguishes two main functions of imagination: a poetical one, associated with the interpretation and discourse, and a practical and projective one that clarifies and guides our actions. In Memory, History, Forgetting both functions of imagination are present but they are associated with different aspects of memory. The first one is present especially in the phenomenology of the cogni-tive dimension of memory, the second one is developed in the analysis of the abuses of the artificial memory, while the articulation between both of them is described in the section of the abuses of natural memory. Besides the similarities in the way these functions of imagination operate in Oneself as Another and in Memory, History, Forgetting, we will show some important differences between these two works and we will try to propose their reasons. ; Dans cet article nous souhaiterions montrer que, dans La mémoire, l'histoire, l'oubli, l'imagination productrice est ce qui permet d'articuler la mémoire et l´histoire. Ricœur distingue deux principales fonctions de l'imagination: l'une, poétique, associée à l'interprétation et au discours ; l'autre pratique et projective, qui éclaire et oriente nos actions. Dans La mémoire, l'histoire, l'oubli, ces deux fonctions de l'imagination sont présentes mais elles sont associées à des aspects différents de la mémoire. La première est surtout présente dans la phénoménologie de la dimension cognitive de la mémoire, la seconde apparaît dans l'analyse des abus de la mémoire artificielle, et l'articulation entre ces deux fonctions se trouve enfin décrite dans la section concernant l'abus de la mémoire naturelle. Outre les similitudes dans la façon dont ces fonctions de l'imagination opèrent dans Soi-même comme un autre et dans La mémoire, l'histoire, l'oubli, nous essaierons de montrer qu'il existe cependant certaines différences importantes entre ces deux œuvres en tentant d'en expliciter les raisons ; Fil: Lythgoe, Esteban.

Memory in Place brings together Indigenous and non-Indigenous
scholars and practitioners grappling with the continued potency of memories and
experiences of colonialism. While many of these conversations have taken place
on a national stage, this collection returns to the rich intimacy of the local.
From Queensland's sweeping Gulf Country, along the shelly beaches of south
Sydney, Melbourne's city gardens and the rugged hills of South Australia,
through Central Australia's dusty heart and up to the majestic Kimberley, the
collection charts how interactions between Indigenous people, settlers and their
descendants are both remembered and forgotten in social, political, and cultural
spaces. It offers uniquely diverse perspectives from a range of disciplines
including history, anthropology, memory studies, archaeology, and linguistics
from both established and emerging scholars; from Indigenous and non-Indigenous
contributors; and from academics as well as museum and cultural heritage
practitioners. The collection locates some of the nation's most pressing
political issues with attention to the local, and the ethics of commemoration
and relationships needed at this scale. It will be of interest to those who see
the past as intimately connected to the future.

Dr. Karen Till is Professor of Cultural Geography at Maynooth University, director of the Space & Place Research Collaborative (Ireland), and founding co-Convener of the Mapping Spectral Traces international network of artists, practitioners, and scholars. Till's 2005 book, The New Berlin: Memory, Politics, Place, explores German memory and modernity, showing how places and spaces exemplify the contradictions and tensions of social memory and national identity. Her current book in progress, Wounded Cities, is based upon geo-ethnographic research in Berlin, Bogotá, Cape Town, Dublin, Minneapolis, and Roanoke. It highlights the significance of placebased memory work and ethical forms of care at multiple scales that may contribute to creating more socially just futures.

Making Room for People elaborates on preferences in housing. It explores how users, occupants, and citizens can express their needs, searching for the enhancement of individual choice and control over their residential environment, and the predicted positive spin-off's for urban collectives. The options to make choices and to have a say in urban design and housing matters are used as a conceptual framework. 'Choice' and 'voice' are the main concepts that structure the empirical material.

While visiting New Mexico, the author was struck with the opportunity the state presents to explore the school-community relationship in rural, religious, and multiethnic sociocultural settings. In New Mexico, the school-community relationship can be learned within four major culture groups -- Indian, Spanish-American, Mexican, and Anglo. Together, studies of these culture groups form a portrait of schooling in New Mexico, further documenting the range of ways that host communities in our educationally decentralized society use the prerogatives of local control to ""create"" schools that fit l
